PhD Candidates Wanted

I am now looking for good PhD candidates to work together on statistical machine learning research. In general, the student is expected to utilize statistical/mathematical tools to design and understand machine learning algorithms. My current interests are:

Adversarial learning: analyze the current machine learning algorithm from an adversarial perspective. Understand how potential attacks may happen and investigate possible defence mechanisms.

I also welcome students who want to work on other domains of machine learning, such as transfer learning, probabilistic graphical models and topological data analysis. Potential candidates are encouraged to contact me via his email (song.liu(a-t)bristol.ac.uk) before application. Various funding opportunities are available for domestic and international students.
